Original Discoveries & Philosophy (1948-2018) by Thomas Karl Dietrich       

Thomas Karl Dietrich is a lifelong student of ancient science, myth, astrology, and divination. He was born in the remarkable medieval city of Fritzlar, grew up in California, studied in the University of San Francisco, and lives in Ireland part of the year visiting antiquities around Europe and the Middle East. He has enjoyed great advantages in education, travel, and life-experience that have helped him to understand the ancient mind and the culture and traditions of the Golden Age.

The Origin of Culture and Civilization (2005)

Discovery: Ancient traditions connect mythology with astronomical cycles of the zodiac following the Hermetic canon: On Earth as it is in heaven; in heaven as it is on Earth (hence, the word ‘cosmomyth’). The Twelve Houses of the zodiac are a cosmic clock delving deep into the origins of culture and civilization.

Discovery: Atlas, who was acclaimed to be the greatest astronomer and geographer of all time, lived in Fez-Marocchi. It was Atlas who laid out the Atlantic Prime Meridian which has appeared on maps for thousands of years until the late eighteenth century. Atlas was the brother of Cronus, Prometheus, and Epimetheus. Atlas was also the father of the Pleiades (aka, Hesperides) who guarded the Golden Apples on the Western Isles (aka, the Canary Islands). Atlas carries the celestial globe upon his shoulders (Etruscan marble in Naples, 525 BC) and taught astronomy to the Egyptian Hercules-Su. Prometheus is said to have established a school of astronomy in the Caucasus Mountains, and may therefore have founded Vedic astronomy. The Atlantic Ocean and the Mountains of Atlas were named in honor of Atlas.

Atlas is a powerful historical scientist connected with a definite geography of ocean and mountains on the surface of the globe. His relationship as a brother to Cronus connects him to the sign of Aquarius (the lunar house of Cronus-Saturn) in the sky. These global and celestial coordinates define Atlas as the premier candidate for geo-cosmic-myth as a scientific discipline.

We believe that the ancient Atlantic Prime Meridian was the key of an advanced knowledge of a connection of Earth with long-term astronomical cycles. This Prime Meridian still appeared upon maps as late as 1760 AD running near to the Cape Verdes, Canary, and Madeira Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. The Alexandrian librarian and scholar, Eratosthenes urged the establishment of a new prime meridian through the Great Pyramid at Giza but was overruled by his scientific colleges. The Atlantic Prime Meridian was the geographic and celestial boundary between Capricorn and Aquarius establishing a connection between Heaven & Earth. During the tail-end of Capricorn the World Flood occurred creating the almost 260 flood stories worldwide still remembered today. The Prime Meridian changes over the Great Ages of the Galaxy as both a celestial and terrestrial marker delineating past and future ages. Mythical places like Hades, Tartarus, and the Isles of the Blessed refer to the latest past ages off the coasts of Africa, Portugal, Brittany, and Ireland –as the cycle moves very slowly eastward.

Discovery: Greek historians and mythographers report that their ancient gods were born in an island-filled bay on the coast of Fez-Marocchi. The cartographer, Abraham Ortelius composed an ancient map of Fez-Marocchi calling it ‘the most celebrated region of Africa.’ From ancient maps and accounts, Ortelius has represented a large island-filled bay in Fez-Marocchi called Mamora Vecchia. Irish historians have written in their most ancient accounts that the first conquerors of their island were the ‘men from Morocco,’ the Fir-Marocchi. This tribe and their descendants are mentioned throughout Irish history involved in battles with subsequent invaders.

Discovery: The clockwise cycle of the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes creates political change in the civilizations of the world by favoring the current geography under its rotation. As for example: 2017 years ago it was above the Middle East and Jerusalem. Today this cycle is above Ireland, Britain, and Spain. This cycle is not powerful enough to move the great continents in the Pangaea cycle, or to change the culture of the world –only the rotation of the Great Cycle of the Milky Way is able to effect such monumental change.

The World centered on the Atlantic Prime Meridian by Gerard van Keulen  & the Ahenny High Cross in Ireland  & the Mobius Universe 

Discovery: The ancient Irish High Crosses were based on the Golden Mean Proportion. The important issue here is that art and architecture were developed through the geometry of the Golden Mean Proportion assumed to be a product of Egypt, Greece, and Near-Orient culture –and should not be evident in Ireland in pre-Christian times. The Early crosses of the Ossory region are filled with cosmological designs which have no connection with Christian art or symbol. Nearby the Slate Quarries is Knockroe, a most ancient observatory directed to the winter solstice sunset, exactly like Newgrange at Bru na Boinne.  Knockroe has been called the Newgrange of the south. This observatory was discovered underneath an ancient roadway passing directly over this site.

Discovery: that the Circular Zodiac of Dendera depicts the prophecy of the coming of a New Savior based upon the progression of the Cycle of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Egyptian goddess Hathor is shown extended alongside the circle of the heavens. The sky-goddess was understood to eat the Sun every evening and give birth to the Sun the next day. By this analogy Hathor's birth-passage is positioned directly opposite the borderline between the zodiac constellations Aries/Pisces. This position was a crossing point of the cycle of the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes and the Galactic cycle of the Milky Way at the time of the appearance of Christ at Jerusalem among the myriad of Messianic apparitions.

Discovery: that a Polar view of Jerusalem shows a hemisphere of the Earth composed of landmasses. The anti-pole of the opposite hemisphere is entirely ocean. This can be verified by anyone picking up an accurate world globe and looking straight down upon Jerusalem. This unique dichotomy of land and water proves a connection between Earth and a higher cycle of the Universe. There is no geological, geographical, or geophysical driving force within our globe that would create such a dramatic dualism between land and sea.

Discovery: of the Mobius Universe, a paradox of self-perpetuating motion: where motion on one side of a strip with a half-twist continues the same motion upon the other side of the strip indefinitely –producing motion without beginning or end (The Origin of Culture p.272).

Discovery: Many cosmologers have linked myth with the cycle of the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes. Indeed, Egyptian art and ritual used lions during Leo, Bulls in Taurus, and Rams in Aries to correspond with the Precessional Cycle. However, the Generations and Cycles of the Gods does not follow the clockwise Cycle of Precession –but rather the counter-clockwise cycle of the rotation of the Milky Way Galaxy. This correspondence produces the genuine synchronism of myth and sky: Goddess Nux-Libra, Uranus-Scorpio, Helios-Sagittarius, Agathodaemon-Capricorn, Cronus-Saturn & Atlas in Aquarius, Zeus-Osiris in Pisces, Sun-Mars in Aries. (Origin of Culture and Culture of Astronomy).

        The Culture of Astronomy (2011)

We were the first to make the statement that, “ASTRONOMY is the Holy Grail in the Sky, The Tree of Knowledge, and The Key to All Mystery. Ancient Sky-watching created 'the scientific method' of observation in a structured and calibrated setting of wooden and stone circles where recordation, analysis, repeated review, and continual observation led to the development of theory and workable conclusions -the scientific method. The need for extensive and accurate record-keeping led to the creation and development of numbers, symbols, and written language. The Culture of Astronomy is the only work that contains: astro-mythology, astro-history, astro-physics, astrology, philosophy of astronomy, cosmological worldview, cycles of the Great World Catastrophes, and deep analysis of Vedic and Maya astronomy. We have traveled to five continents to physically examine ancient astronomical observatories.

Discovery: Vedic, Chaldean, Mexica-Maya, Anasazi, and Hopi traditions recite that the Great World Fire took place in the house of Cancer; and that the Great World Flood would come at the end of the house of Capricorn; directly upon the Ancient Atlantic Prime Meridian discussed above. This Great Flood destroyed global science, travel, and communication; setting most regions back into the Stone Age.

Discovery: Like the Cycles and Generations of the Ancient Gods; The Four Great World Catastrophes follow the counter-clockwise motion of the rotation of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Discovery: that the super-fecundity and exceptional variety of humans and all living things cannot be explained through the simple context of nature acting alone upon the surface of our planet. The super-fecundity comes from the interaction between Heaven and Earth through the Cycle of the Universe, the cycles of rotation and revolution of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes, and the complex and compound geometrical relationships between the Earth and the cycles of Sun, Moon, and Planets (Culture of Astronomy).

Temple of Heaven & Earth (2016)

Discovery: that the Dichotomy of Yin & Yang drives the Eternal Motion of the universe. 

Discovery: that Coronal Mass Ejections and Galactic Explosions destroyed many ancient holy sites; resulting in the abandonment, dismantling, and burial of Chaco Canyon, Gobekli Tepe, and the Mote of Mark.

Discovery: of the Transfer of Cosmic Energy through galaxies and the Universe.

Discovery: of the image of Vishnu ‘dreaming the universe.’

Discovery: of the three requisites for an ancient holy site, namely: astronomical alignment, fault-line or aquifer correspondence to the astronomical alignment, and cosmic energy. This analysis explains many of the findings and anomalies surrounding these powerful holy places of Earth and cosmic energy (Atlantis Rising #93 2012, Atlantis Rising #97, 2013, and Temple of Heaven & Earth, 2016).

Discovery: The Turin Rule in the Turin museum is an Egyptian explanation of the ability of numbers to express measurement through the interaction of the Golden Mean ratio Φ, 1.618 and φ, 0.618. The Egyptians cleverly chose the extremes of the Golden Mean as the most incommensurable of all incommensurables; and plain and simple whole number integers without fractions to express the whole divergence of numbers as measures.

Quakestar.org &Other Sources

Discovery: of a scientific format based upon Right-Ascension Astrology, the Cycles of Precession and Galactic Rotation as an accurate predictor of earthquakes, hurricanes, and weather phenomena (quakestar.org 2005).

Discovery: that melting of the ice at the South Pole will not necessarily raise ocean levels (quakestar.org 2005). [this discovery was used without permission, credit, or reference to its origination source in discussions on Global Warming.]

Discovery: 'Earth-energy, soma, and manna comes from cosmic-energy generated in the motion of the Universe transferred to our Milky Way Galaxy, and then to our Sun, solar system, and Earth (Atlantis Rising #97, 2012).

Discovery: Astronomical recording of earthquakes over a period of 50 years, human sickness, psychological problems, and the birth of exceptional people –clearly demonstrates that the globe of the Earth is divided into twelve longitudinal zones that are linked to the constellations of the zodiac. The cycles of the Milky Way and the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes express the hour hand and the minute hand of the clock of the universe. (Origin of Culture, Culture of Astronomy, and www.Quakestar.org).

Substantiating Evidence: that Eratosthenes did not discover the size of the Earth, but only read about it in the Library of Alexandria (Culture of Astronomy). John Michell already discusses this fallacy in some detail in his famous The New View over Atlantis (p.135-6). Thomas G. Brophy in The Origin Map (p.110-11) actually states that Eratosthenes used data from the latitude and longitude of the ancient Nabta Playa which was also used in the Piri Re'is Map from Istanbul noticed by Charles Hapgood in Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. 

Cosmic Myth synchronized with Astronomical Cycles

There is no scientific reason for the Global Prime Meridian to run through Greenwich, England –only a political reason, that for a time England controlled the world. Scientifically, the Prime Meridian of our world should correspond with the Center of our Milky Way Galaxy (at 17:46 Right Ascension) –so that all celestial happenstance may be coordinated with this true and current indicator of time and events.

The position of the Galactic Center (17:46 Right Ascension) is on the boundary line of Scorpio and Sagittarius thereby creating an influential triangle with Pisces/Aries and Cancer/Leo. The points of this triangle move from 0° to 30° counter-clockwise during 18 million years (and around the entire celestial circle in 216 million years). The Greek ‘Generations of the Gods (i.e. Nux-Uranus-Cronus-Zeus-Dionysus)’ synchronizes nicely with this cycle. Strong sympathetic-triangular-affinity is also found in the cycle of the Trigons of Saturn and Jupiter; and the movements of Mercury.

The Prime Meridian on the celestial and geographic boundary of Capricorn/Aquarius also designates that past history (Hades, Tartarus, Hell, the Dead Past) is to the left, while the future is to the right. This is like the yin and yang.

We strongly persist with this theory because of an amazing concordance of the ancient Greek cycle of the Genealogy of the Gods, which is supported and mirrored in part by several other cycles from diverse cultures of the world. The chart below will display some of the concordance.

Conclusion: that the practice of circumcision is common to the Egyptians, Canaanite-Phoenicians, Phrygians, and Jews. However, this practice was in effect from ancient times in Central Mexico, and among the Maya, and other Mexica-Maya-Andean peoples located under the galactic sign of Scorpio, ruler of the private parts of the human body.

Discovery of the above astrological template linking terrestrial and celestial geography

There are many unanswered problems in universal history:

Among the ruins of antiquity are an inordinate amount of examples of high and super-technology which pre-date most classical structures. Examples are: the Great Pyramid and Valley Temple at Giza, the Osireion at Abydos, the Mexican pyramids at Teotihuacan, the Temple of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza, and Tiwanaku in Bolivia.

The advanced projection techniques of the maps of the ancient sea kings discussed by Charles Hapgood which show the coastlines of the American continents and Antarctica accurately delineated without ice-caps.

Discovery: The Cahokia Complex of six square miles is very interesting because many ancient holy sites around the world also had precincts of 6 square miles (6 x 5280 = 31,680 feet ~ 31,680 miles is the Sub-Lunar Atmosphere or Halo of the Earth in ancient cosmology.

Discovery: Newton is sitting in a chair in the garden on a moonlit night, when an apple falls from the apple tree. He reasons (Ratio) that the apple could as well have fallen upward into space. Now, Newton’s logic guides reason to say, “The force that causes the apple to fall to the ground is the same that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.”

Discovery: The scout-bee dance concerning a location for the new swarm-hive is an ‘energy dance.’ This lively zig-zag, back and forth display informs the hive about the potential strength of the earth-energy at certain locations. Other scouts will visit these suggested places; and affirm or negate this selection. Earth-energy supplies heat, energy, intuitive acumen, and nutrition for the hive to survive.

Discovery: of the change-over in the polarity from the positive (New Moon to Full Moon) cycle to the negative (Full Moon back to New Moon) cycle –which experiences anomalies created when the Moon is in close conjunction, opposition, or significant alignments with Sun and planets. This is an extremely interesting phenomena where the anomalies demonstrate proof for astrological influence.

Re-Discovery: of the ancient term, ‘Sub-Lunar Circle.’ The ancient value of the diameter of the Earth, 7920 miles, as a square drawn around the globe is: 4 x 7920 = 31,680 miles, the circumference of the Sub-Lunar Circle which is the halo of the atmosphere which supports all life on our planet. The height of the atmosphere is 5040 – 3960 = 1080 miles above the globe. The International Space Station is only 205 to 270 miles above Earth, and well within the atmosphere. The atmospheric drag on the shuttle and solar activity cause the shuttle to descend, and it must activate its engines to maintain altitude. Gravity holds our atmosphere in place.

Discovery that the Circular Zodiac of Dendera depicts the prophecy of the coming of a New Savior based upon the progression of the Cycle of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Egyptian goddess of our galaxy, Hathor is shown extended alongside the circle of the heavens. The sky-goddess is understood to eat the Sun every evening and give birth to the Sun the next day. By this analogy Hathor's birth-passage is positioned directly opposite the borderline between the constellations Aries/Pisces. This position was the crossing point of the cycle of the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes and the Galactic cycle of the Milky Way at the time of the appearance of Jesus Christ at Jerusalem.

Discovery of the three requisites for an ancient holy site. These are: astronomical alignment, fault-line or aquifer correspondence to the astronomical alignment, and cosmic energy. This analysis explains many of the findings and special phenomena surrounding these powerful holy places of Earth energy (Atlantis Rising #93 2012 & #97, 2013).Discovery of a scientific format based upon Right Ascension Astrology, and the Cycles of Precession and Galactic Rotation that is accurate for earthquake, weather, and the prediction of all natural phenomena (quakestar.org 2005).

Discovery that melting of the ice at the South Pole will not necessarily raise ocean levels (quakestar.org 2005). [unfortunately this discovery was used without receiving proper credit and reference to its source. This really makes it very difficult for investigators to speak about important research.]

Discovery that the super-fecundity and ultra-variety of humans and all living things cannot be explained through the simple context of nature acting alone upon the surface of our planet. The super-fecundity comes from the interaction between Heaven and Earth through the Cycle of the Universe, the cycles of rotation and revolution of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Precession of the Vernal Equinoxes, and the complex and compound geometrical relationships between the Earth and the cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Planets (Culture of Astronomy).Discovery that the super-fecundity and ultra-variety of humans and all living things cannot be explained through the simple context of nature acting alone upon the surface of our planet.

Philosophy. There is evidence at holy sites around the world that they have been taken over and reused by several different peoples and even diverse cultures and religions. This must be exquisite proof that the locations of holy sites have a foundation based upon physics -and not beauty, faith, or history. Religion attempts to provide a connection between our world and the Creator God. There must be physical and scientifically attainable proof in nature, cosmic physics, and the physics of the Earth for the precise location of these holy sites. Our investigations are nearing completion. -Atlantis Rising     Magazine #93 & 97 (2012)

Discovery that the ancient Irish Crosses were based on the Golden Mean. The important issue here is that art and architecture were developed through the geometry of the Golden Mean Proportion assumed to be a product of Egypt, Greece, and Near-Orient culture -and should not be evident in Ireland in pre-Christian times. The Early crosses of the Ossory region are filled with cosmological designs which have no connection with Christian art or symbol. While the stone crosses cannot be dated accurately, the history of the ancient tribes inhabiting these regions, especially the Deisi, show them to be ultra-conservative and holding onto the olden ways. Nearby the Slate Quarries is Knockroe, a most ancient observatory directed to the winter solstice sunset, exactly like Bru na Boinne. It is actually called the Newgrange of the south. Knockroe was old in ancient times, having been discovered underneath and ancient roadway passing directly over this site.

There is no geological, geographical ,or internal geophysical driving force within the orb of our globe which would create such a dramatic dualism between land and sea.
